I hope everyone enjoyed their recent Labor Day festivities. Labor Day became a national holiday when Congress passed the bill, and President Grover Cleveland signed it into law, in 1894.
Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated with parades, picnics, barbecues, speeches and other public gatherings. Over time, it has also come to mark the unofficial end of summer with many people taking advantage of the long weekend for vacations and family get-togethers. Unless you were born with a huge trust fund and don’t need to “labor”, we are all laborers.
We work to get the money we need to provide for ourselves and our families. Unfortunately, the elites and their minions in DC are not working with us but working against us in that endeavor. They are working feverishly to prop up a failed income/payroll tax system that harms all working people while at the same time giving them control over our lives.
The elites tell us:
- That we are being irresponsible by not saving enough money for retirement while they continue to discourage us by taxing our savings and investment incomes.
- That if we need more money we should simply work harder while they continue to prop up a tax system that discourages hard work by “rewarding “ that harder work with higher taxes.
- That they are working to help American businesses and save American jobs while they refuse to replace a tax system that favors imports and sends our jobs overseas.
- That the federal deficit and federal debt are nothing to worry about even though they lead to inflation that robs working people of their purchasing power.
All these problems can be eliminated by replacing our failed income tax system with the simple, transparent and efficient FAIRtax. The FAIRtax: Does not tax saving or investments Rewards hard work since there are no payroll taxes Keeps jobs at home and offers many more employment opportunities.
We, the people, the workers, control how much we pay in taxes under the FAIRtax through our spending habits. WE are in control, not a few DC elites. For more information please go to FAIRtax.org
